Simple Strategy for Extraordinary Results – Alex Smith

In episode 267 of the IDEAS+LEADERS Podcast, I’m joined by Alex M.H. Smith – bestselling author of No Bullsht Strategy*, founder of Basic Arts, and trusted advisor to leaders who want to make strategy simple, bold, and powerful enough to inspire real action.

Alex has worked with billion-dollar brands like Porsche and fast-moving startups worldwide, helping them escape me-too competition and uncover the only value their business can deliver. His no-fluff approach to strategy has built him a global audience on LinkedIn and YouTube, where he challenges leaders to think differently about what strategy truly means.

In this dynamic conversation, we explore:

  • Why most companies don’t actually have a strategy – and how to fix it
  • The “Only, not Best” rule for escaping competition
  • How to turn theory into bold, practical business moves
  • Why chasing competitors or customers leads to mediocrity

If you’re a business owner or leader ready to simplify your strategy, stand out from the crowd, and drive decisive action across your organization – this episode is packed with clarity and inspiration.
